Worshiping Embryonic Stem Cell "Research"

It most strongly appears that the support of human embryonic stem cell research is a form of religious worship based on faith and not on science. All of the “main stream” journalistic and scientific writers push forward that such research will, most certainly, provide cures for MS, MD, diabetes, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's Disease and, for all I can tell, dandruff and many persons' (Including myself) inability to dance.

Yet, such research (When applied) appears to have produced nothing but cancers and such other horrid neoplasms as masses of hair and teeth growing in inappropriate parts of the body.

Basing some projection of useful medical uses, from human embryonic stem cell research, in the face of such facts is truly a matter of religious conviction and not of a scientific statement of probability.

Yet, research based on adult and placental stem cell sources have produced positive, medical, results---Which are too often ignored by the same persons who continue to push their religion of embryonic stem cell research. Of course, it is common for priesthoods to ignore or suppress competing schools of thought---Which appears to be the mechanism at work here.

For those of a religious orientation, there appears to be little difference between the support of destroying human embryos for such irrational purposes and the self-declared “worship of death” claimed by some of the more radical Islamic teachers as basic to their religion.

For those who claim reason, logic and science as their guides in this world (And still push human embryonic stem cell “research”—If that is the correct term), I say shame-on-you for supporting a religion in the guise of science. That shame extends to too many journalists, politicians, general academics and, most specially, self-described “scientists”.
